One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Servia who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
